That was a pretty wicked move by Kershaw, though Altuve should have known it was coming. The pitch before he shortened his lead by a step or so.
Yeah it was a good move but Altuve has to have better focus than that. He's just not all that smart on the bases.
You know, I'm a huge fan of Gomez' enthusiasm and energy he brings to the team, but I've been questioning the decision of him being put in the 2 hole of the line-up if he keeps struggling like this.
He's gotten much better on defense, but all that takes is work. I don't know how much better he can get on the bases, since so much of that is instinct.
Gomez should just ask for the ball, tag himself out so he doesn't have to go through the hassle of an at bat
